I read an article about an “anti-child ban” movement that’s starting to go around the U.S. and was a bit shocked. I understand there are certain places where having your children might cause a problem…art gallerys, fine china stores, government buildings (unless they are supposed to be present, of course), 5-star restaurants, Victoria’s Secret, head shops…ect. Yes it’s the parent’s job to know the difference between what places are child appropriate and not. Something came to mind after reading it, and instead of being so angry about that, I figured we should add something else to the mix.
I would like to propose an idea for another ban…
…it would be for adults who fail to act like adults in public. Whining, snotty, egotistic, rude adults who, no matter what happens, find something to complain about and throw fits of epic purportions (with a deaf ear to volume and inappropriate language bursting out the seams (even if children are allowed and are nearby)) until the business bends over backwards and starts giving them free stuff.
Ok, great idea, lets start banning children from public places like grocery stores and restaurants, but lets cater to the adults who throw fits worse than my 4-year-old.
I put forth the motion to show those people the door when they revert back to their 2-year-old selves.
Anyone second??
